A new device for automatic measurements of arterial stiffness and ankle-brachial index

We compared arterial stiffness and the ankle-brachial index obtained with a newly developed automatic noninvasive device with those obtained with manual methods in 52 subjects. The results obtained suggest that the device is accurate and reliable and has potential as a screening and diagnosis device...

Description
Summary:We compared arterial stiffness and the ankle-brachial index obtained with a newly developed automatic noninvasive device with those obtained with manual methods in 52 subjects. The results obtained suggest that the device is accurate and reliable and has potential as a screening and diagnosis device for assessing subclinical vascular pathology.
